• Stop pedaling well before approaching corners to avoid
entering a corner too quickly. You should also pay particular
attention to terrain conditions as you may approach obstacles
fa ster t han expected.
• Look ahead and brake sooner. You may be moving faster on
your eBike, and it may be heavier compared to a bicycle, which
means you may need to react and brake sooner when riding. Other
road users may not expect you to be traveling at higher speeds.
Riding faster may increase your risk of a crash.
Riding in Wet Conditions
Use caution when riding in wet conditions as it will take longer
to brake and to stop. Your tires may slip when turning. Ris k of
•
a crash is dramatically increased in wet conditions.
• Your electric bicycle can withstand light rain and small
splashes, but it is not designed to be subjected to inclement
weather, extremely heavy showers, or submersion in water. The
electric bike’s components have an IP rating of 65. Water
damage is not covered under the warranty.
Cargo and Electric Bike Safety
Cargo bikes handle differently than non-cargo bikes. Weight
distribution is most important for a safer experience on cargo
bikes. The payload is the total weight being carried on a cargo
bike and should be distributed across the cargo bike. When
carrying cargo that is not a passenger, it is best to position wei ght
as low on the bike as possible is best for handling. Also, utilizing
the front rack for some weight will help balance out large loads in
the rear of the bike and improve handling. The A6 has weight
carrying capabilities on the rear rack and front head tube rack
mount.
NEVER exceed the maximum total weight limit of 480 lbs (217
kg). The rear rack can hold a maximum of 300 lbs (136 kg). The
front rack can hold a maximum of 35 lbs (15 kg ). And, the rider
maximum weight is 445 lbs (202 kg).
See acceptable examples of weight distribut ion below.
